Monovalent ([Na+] > 10 mM) and divalent ([Ca2+], [Mg2+] > 1.0 mM) cations induced the precipitation of nucleic acid molecules. In the presence of clay minerals (montmorillonite and kaolinite), there was adsorption instead of precipitation. The cation concentration needed for adsorption depended on both the valence of the cations and the chemical na...
